I am an independent consultant offering a range of advisory services, primarily in the research and production of new crops, with special emphasis on evening primrose and borage, although I have also found my commerecial experience to be invaluable when analysing and designing websites for clients. I also have

within an organisation
Provision of a commercial perspective to research personnel
Establishment of suitable management structures for the optimisation of
research effort

Day-to-day interaction

Assessing suitability of current design
Developing alternative approaches
Checking body text for accuracy and suitability
Placement with search engines for optimum list positioning
